gratitude makes what you have more than enough

Tag Archives: Sunday

Beloved, no matter what you’re going through today, I want to encourage you to ponder the infinite love of our great I AM as you watch the wonderful video below, “We Will Glorify,” sung by Twila Paris. I’m sure many of us have often sung this in church over the years.

I’m sure we can all agree that our greatI AMis more than worthy to be glorified!

Then Moses said to God,
“Indeed, when I come to the children of Israel and say to them,
‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’
and they say to me, ‘What is His name?’ what shall I say to them?”

And God said to Moses,“I AM WHO I AM.”
And He said, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel,
‘I AM has sent me to you.’”
—Exodus 3:14-14

If for any reason you cannot view the video, you can read the lyricshere.

I decided the other day that I’m going to change my Sunday posts to Sunday Praise and Worship. Many of us cannot make it to church for health, work or other reasons. I often have health issues that keep me home from church, and if you’re like me, you miss being able to sing your praises in a worship service with fellow believers. These Sunday Praise and Worship posts will include Scripture passages of praise and worship, and praise songs in video format, with a link to the lyrics. For copyright purposes, I cannot share the complete lyrics in my blog posts.

So last Sunday we sang “We Fall Down“at church. This is another praise and worship song that never fails to make my eyes leak. As I sit here writing this post, I am listening to Chris Tomlin sing this and need to stop often to wipe my eyes.

How can we not be totally impressed, awed and thankful as we ponder the utter holiness of Jesus?

Like this:

Have you ever noticed how many Scripture passages there are about being happy and full of joy? Today I’d like to share some of those with you to remind all of us of the immense happiness andJOY we have in Jesus Christ.

Happy

Psalm 63:7—You have helped me, and I sing happy songs in the shadow of your wings.

Psalm 81:1—Be happy and shout to God who makes us strong! Shout praises to the God of Jacob.

Psalm 89:16—We are happy all day because of you, and your saving power brings honor to us.

Psalm 98:3-5—God has been faithful in his love for Israel, and his saving power is seen everywhere on earth. Tell everyone on this earth to sing happy songs in praise of the LORD. Make music for him on harps. Play beautiful melodies!

Joy

Psalm 5:11—But let all who take refuge in You be glad, let them ever sing for joy; and may You shelter them, that those who love Your name may exult in You.

Psalm 16:11—You will make known to me the path of life; in Your presence is fullness of joy; in Your right hand there are pleasures forever.

Psalm 32:11—Be glad in the Lord and rejoice, you righteous ones; and shout for joy, all you who are upright in heart.

Psalm 47:1—Clap your hands, all peoples; shout to God with the voice of joy.

This is the praise song that I often sing to the Lord at night just before I go to sleep. It is based on Psalm 5:11:

…..

I Love You, Lord

I love You, Lord, and I lift my voice To worship You, O my soul, rejoice!Take joy, my King, in what You hear; May it be a sweet, sweet sound in Your ear.

Psalm 145

A psalm of praise. Of David.

1 I will exalt you, my God the King;I will praise your name for ever and ever.2 Every day I will praise youand extol your name for ever and ever.

3 Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise;his greatness no one can fathom.4 One generation commends your works to another;they tell of your mighty acts.5 They speak of the glorious splendor of your majesty—and I will meditate on your wonderful works.6 They tell of the power of your awesome works—and I will proclaim your great deeds.7 They celebrate your abundant goodnessand joyfully sing of your righteousness.

8 The Lord is gracious and compassionate,slow to anger and rich in love.

9 The Lord is good to all;he has compassion on all he has made.

10 All your works praise you, Lord;your faithful people extol you.11 They tell of the glory of your kingdomand speak of your might,12 so that all people may know of your mighty actsand the glorious splendor of your kingdom.13 Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,and your dominion endures through all generations.

The Lord is trustworthy in all he promisesand faithful in all he does.14 The Lord upholds all who falland lifts up all who are bowed down.15 The eyes of all look to you,and you give them their food at the proper time.16 You open your handand satisfy the desires of every living thing.

17 The Lord is righteous in all his waysand faithful in all he does.18 The Lord is near to all who call on him,to all who call on him in truth.19 He fulfills the desires of those who fear him;he hears their cry and saves them.20 The Lord watches over all who love him,but all the wicked he will destroy.

21 My mouth will speak in praise of the Lord.Let every creature praise his holy namefor ever and ever.
